Friday is the day of great blessings for Muslims.
And for non-Muslims as well,…ever heard of TGIF – Thank God its Friday.
Well, most of the people get paid on Fridays, yes they get their pay-checks on Fridays and that’s why its kind of a blessed and most desired day for everyone. SubhanAllah even non muslims wait anxiously for the blessed day of Friday.
Friday prayers are mandatory for Muslims. Of all the days of the week, the day of Jumuah was chosen by Allah 
to be the greatest and the most special for Muslims.
“O you who believe, when the call for salah is made on Al –Jumuah, hasten to the remembrance of Allah , and leave trading aside. That is better for you, if only you knew.” [62:9
Jumuah prayer is compulsory for all adult male Muslims. ” Allah forgives the sins of the week amongst us between the Al-Jumuah Salah (Prayer) and of three additional days, for whosoever goes to Salat-ul Jumuah, prays what he will, listens until the end of Khutbah and makes salah with the Imam ” {Muslim}
Some Ahadiths about Friday – (Easy to remember and to share with others)
>> “Whoever dies on the day of al-Jumuah or on its eve will be protected from the torment of the grave.” (Ahmed)
SubhanAllah, So why don’t you pray that: Allah make Friday the day of my return to you.
As reported by Imam Bukhari,
>>> “There is an hour, on the day of al-Jumuah, during which Allah answers the prayers and supplications.
Most scholars agree that this hour is the last hour of the day, after the Salatul Asr,
Ask of Allah in the last hour after the Asr.” {Naas’i}
And why do we get so busy around Asr time on Fridays and totally forget about this special hour?
Shaitan makes us forget about it. >>> ” The Final Day will only fall on al -Jumuah.” {Muslim}
Yes the last day on earth will be a Friday and thats when Day of Judgement will start.
Just like the first day of Earth was Friday. >>> ” Going to Salat-ul-Jumuah is required of all male Muslims who have reached puberty.” {Nass’i}
>>> ” A traveler does not have to perform Salat-ul-Jumuah.” {Sahihal Jami’}
Jumuah prayer is compulsory for all adult male Muslims. >>> ” Allah forgives the sins of the week between the al-Jumuah Salah (Prayer) and of three additional days,
for whosoever goes to Salat-ul Jumuah, prays what he wills,
listens until the end of Khutuba and makes salah with the Imam ” {Muslim}
What a blessing Day of Jummah is? And why we neglect it so easily every week?????
>>> “ 5 deeds when done on a day chosen by Allah (al-Jumuah) will be rewarded by Entry into Paradise:
1. Visiting the sick
2. Attending the funeral
3. Fasting a day *
(* Should be followed or preceded by another day of fasting, means fast either Thur & Fri or Fri & Sat. But never fast just on Friday. ).
4. Going to Salatul Jumuah
5. And the freeing of a slave. ” {Sahih Ibn Hibban}
Above mentioned good deeds have special kind of rewards when performed on the day of al-Junuah. >>> ” Al-Jummah is the day of feast so do not fast on the day of your feast, unless you fast before it or after it.”
Islam prohibits us from fasting on Al-Jummah alone because its an on going event of celebration, a day of Happiness for we receive special favors /rewards and rahmah from Allah .
>>> ” The people of Jannah can not wait for the arrival of al-Jumuah,
to fill their eyes more and more with the presence of the Almighty.
For this reason al-Jumuah has been named the day of more (increase) .” {At-Tabarani}
Means people of Jannah will be waiting for the arrival of Friday very anxiously because it is the day when they will be able to see Allah Subhana Talla for the first time.
Now after having read so many Ahadeeths (saying of the Prophet s.a.w ) are you able to realize how very important is the day of Friday and how blessed we are to have it. And it would such a shame to pass this day with out giving much thought.
